The Drift of Things
Poetry. "In this technically impressive collection, the poems offer a witty, intrepid, unsentimental response to pleasures of the flesh as well as to pain and soreness of spirit, extracting their subjects from the drift of things. A clear-eyed and authentic chronicler of his Irish-American tribe, Winch has a beautifully tuned ear, whether working in formal mode or in supple lines of free verse. In all their zany plainspoken ways, these poems sing" - Eamon Grennan. "I wish I lived in the world Terence Winch inhabits. Something invisible and mythical ennobles every object he encounters. His poems are full of a carefree confidence that comes from being so good at what you do that you don't think twice about mixing elegies, villanelles, jokes, traditional rhymes, and a story about a one-eyed guy named Max" - Matthew Rohrer.

This Way Out

That Special Place
Nonfiction. Music. In a voice that "delivers both respect and irreverence with convincing authority," Terence Winch gives us "a world--two worlds in fact--his parents' New York immigrant Irish life in the '30's,'40's, and '50's, and the bubbling, eventful confusion of growing up asan artist on the East Coast from the late '60's on. These worlds are joined at the heart by music. And we are as close (as they say in the old Irish poem) to 'the music of what happens' as we are likely to get"--Charles Fanning. A noted poet, musician and fiction-writer, Winch establishes a witty and yet austere presence in prose that is clean, clear, and utterly engrossing.
Boy Drinkers
Poetry. "BOY DRINKERS looks with sober eyes at the people, tragedies, and traditions that shaped any of us who grew up in a community where alcohol and God were equally able to bring us to our knees. With his musician's ear and Irishman's humor, Terence Winch pokes fun at the Holy, makes sacred the mundane, and redefines the meaning of 'grace'"--Meg Kearney.
The Trick is to Keep Breathing
"A young drama teacher in the West of Scotland suffers deep psychological problems which affect all areas of her life. She fails to find meaning in anything around her, but in her search she strips situations of their conventional values and sees them in a sharp, new light." --Publisher's description.
Irish Musicians/American Friends
Winner, American Book Award, 1986. "Beautiful, simple, often heartbreaking poems about the big-city Irish, by a son immigrants."--The Washington Post
